I wouldn't have guessed looking at your nicely rendered image, but I'm
not surprised. I've found that with a good exposure and no cropping,
ISO 1600 pics can be quite nice. Noise reduction only kicks in on long
exposures. I find that the images are cleaner than those one might get
from ISO 1600 negative film -- color or BW.

Just a quick comment. While looking at the original PEF file for the

and
noise reduction was turned off in the camera. Maybe I'm too ignorant

know what to expect, but the pic and the original PEF sure look better
than
I'd imagined an 1600 ISO pic would look. Maybe it's the light?
